Sketches from the Picture Exhibitions: "On the Temple Steps." E. J. Poynter, R.A. - Royal Academy, 1890. Engraving of a painting. 'Gallery IX., although devoted as usual to works of cabinet size, is not so terribly crowded as to absorb an entire day's study. Mr. E. J. Poynter's "On the Temple Steps" (866) is the finished picture of which a study appears in the New Gallery. Frankly, we prefer the sketch to the completed work, of which the delicacy is lost in the heavy colour with which the picture is overdone'. From "Illustrated London News", 1890.
